    The big plus for pick up trucks are essentially no vertical constraint and that there is a space outside the cab for smelly things (ie. Manure, trash). The people who put hard bed covers on should just get an SUV.

    There is also nothing wrong with having a cab bigger than the bed so long as the extra seats aren’t wasted space (ie. Silverado mid gate).

    What is absurd ( and I have been thinking about a pickup for several years because my station wagon isn’t as handy due to the hard vertical constraints) is how big they have gotten. Why do you need to take up so much space when most of the time that isn’t necessary? Or like, you know, the super lifted trucks? Wow, your approach and departure angles are near vertical. But your break over angle is still shit. And who’s going to drop their truck two feet anyway? Also why do you need to be so tall with such a square hood so you can’t see modern sedans sometimes
